Host regulation of liver fibroproliferative pathology during experimental schistosomiasis via interleukin-4 receptor alpha.
Interleukin-4 receptor (IL-4Rα) is critical for the initiation of type-2 immune responses and implicated in the pathogenesis of experimental schistosomiasis. IL-4Rα mediated type-2 responses are critical for the control of pathology during acute schistosomiasis. However, type-2 responses tightly ass...
